    Via my phone:

    The Bills have released DE Mark Anderson and Placed OT Chris Hairston on the Active/PUP list

    But to play
    that’s the thing

    It tells me that he must have really sucked, because we are eating more in dead cap to release him then it would have cost to keep.

    that, or hughes blatnick are just as good rushing the passer in otas... the byrd situation and hughes made him expendable. hughes was especially lighting it up though

    The quality of his replacements is irrelevant. If someone took his job then he'd be quality depth or a 3rd down specialist. But this year he stood to make $4 Million. By cutting him, he counts for $4.5 million. We ate a penalty to make him go away.

    In preseason, a player can be taken off pup at any time.

    either way, they wouldn't have cut him if he was better than hughes, and cleary hes not. im telling you, outside the qb spot, he will be the biggest addition.

    The dead money is spread over 2 years, though. He has $1.5M in bonus allocation and $500K in guaranteed salary so they have $2M in dead money this year. His old cap number was $4M so they saved some room in 2013. He will count another $3M in dead money next year, though.

    Re: Bills Release Mark Anderson

    It's not just Hughes and Blatnick, but also Manny Lawson that makes Anderson expendable.
    Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

    So? By cutting him we have another 2 million in cap room to add to our 18 million in cap room. There's no one to sign with that. And if we cut him next year, we'd have the exact same $3 million hit.

    Oh well, we'll always have that pressure on Sanchez in game one last year to remember him fondly.
